[q] epic 4g boost mobile: To do/not to do?

I got my Epic flashed over a month ago. but they didn't give me the donor phone. I have switched Roms with no issue,but when I manually updated my prl, i lost 3g and my network connection. It called verizon when 611 was dialed. So, I ended up having to take the phone back to the guys who flashed it in the first place.
Long story short...to keep from having to pay theese guys more $ that I don't have, I have not made any changes to the prl or modem.
1. Am I screwed by not having the donor phone in my possesion?
If not...
2. what is safe for me to do with my epic, and what's not?(software wise)
Thanks

somebody! Anybody? C'mon guys, don't leave me hangin...

I don't really know if not having the donor phone is going to hurt you or not... but I would not be updating prl or profile...

they are having problems with that prl you need to switch it

Need cdma workshop and its time to learn cdma flashing. I dont suggest flashing to boost though. Its super illegal. If u need help just pm me and i can get you squared away.

It also depends on your software version to determine if this will work. Also since I know you may be busy let me help you and tell you that the actual CWM zip in the thread wont download because it refers to a shutdown website. Well it did not do anything for me but feel free to try...

VIA Chipset Repair. Everything you need can be found there. I have mine flashed to Boost mobile but have issues with data. Others have no problems. I believe it was because my donor phone was one that no one uses so ive had issues getting the necessary things off of it required. You will only get 3G as there is not LTE on Boost Mobile yet.

First you need to setup a boost account and get the donor phone active so that you can port the sprint number over to boost before you cancel with sprint. Once the donor is good to go and your number has been ported then you can start with the xfer of info from the donor to your ET.
Remember boost does not "roam" if you can live with that or dont really need roaming by all means switch.
Or you can wait till the ET is on boost, sell yours and buy the boost version which will be the same as the sprint version.

gee thanx for the insight. ill be sure not to skim. so in other words,there needs to be a write up for this? ive read all 20 sumthin odd post in that thread. pls,im not trying to be a smartass but before you accuse me of not reading it......ask me. i would not be asking if i understood the jargon.

You will need to read more than just the tut on how to flash the et4g of you don't understand the jargon. You will need to read up on what everything means as well and how to use the software required for the flashing process. You can't just flash a zip and switch carriers, it's not as simple as unlocking a GSM phone, and can seriously damage or brick the device. If you pull or push the wrong NV items your device won't boot up or connect to cdma workshop or qxpt or whatever its called and can be a real ***** to repair once the NV is borked so you need to do some studying before you jump into this.

Good stuff to know. I'm about to get an epic touch and flash it to boost aswell.
Also, once it is flashed are there certain things that I shouldnt do? Will Odin ruin the flash?

Theoretically the settings will stick between flashes, they do when flashing roms from recovery, except occasionally mms apn settings will need to be reset. However depending on what you flash thru Odin they may not stick if the tar includes NV items it will screw it up, I've never flashed a phone to another carrier but I know alot of ppl who have and have no issues flashing the basics, rom, kernel, modem/radio, mods, themes, etc. But if you do a full tar restore in Odin there's a chance it could include files that will overwrite the donor settings but I'm not 100% sure on that

Oh, that's fine then.
I mean that if I use Odin to flash a kernel and recovery that it won't ruin anything.
I ask because on my EVO 3d almost every other Time I flash a Rom it resets my meid and esn back to sprint; that's why I'm going to the et4g. Hopefully it won't happen over here.

Wasn't being a smartass either. You stated that the video was of the epic 4g, and the op clearly stated that it was pieced together.
Just working with what you put out there.
Anyway, not starting a flaming session, what did you find out?

I said screw it. I just gotta net10 phone. I cant even figure out (or get help 4 that matter) how to download cdma workshop. Ones 90$, the other wants u to DL all kind of media sh1t. Screw it. Any1 want a e4gt for 150$?

Mike, have you checked out Ting? We moved all 4 of our E4GT phones to Ting. Same Sprint network. Our bill is about 40% of what we paid Sprint each month, and it's nice to not be tied down to a contract. No activation fee. If you want to try them, PM me and I can give you a referral to save on your 1st bill.

I hooked up with T-Mobile. Got a T-Mobile E4GT rooted running Liquid Smooth. I kinda want to try PAC-ROM, but gonna let this run. I messed up and didn't backup the stock ROM. I "deflowered" the phone with Carbon ROM. Enjoying my E4GT once again. Thanks for the hookup.
